No, that was the ECB, with 178 billion Euro repo. And you were
wondering why the dollar is up -g- The Fed is helping some too,
but this is mostly ECB effort.

When are the Japanese gonna jump in the trash the yen back to 115/dollar and save their exports?

Remember:

1) Treasury can print.

2) Treasury has its own discretionary repo pool.

I think, and this only a guess, that they put out a certain amount of cash to the big banks and IBs and if it doesn't work, the go home and try again another day.
